Baihu asked, "What does this mean?"

Li Ke's guard captain said, "My highness heard that your highness has no one serving around you now, so I specially sent one over to take care of your highness's daily life. This woman is the second princess of King Zhenla. My highness has taken King Zhenla's eldest princess as a concubine. My highness wants to kiss your highness, haha!"

Baihu felt very embarrassed. His prince never accepted women sent by others. The emperors and kings of Hamid, Peidiran and other countries had sent many women to the prince, but the prince did not stay by his side.

All the princesses around the prince were not easy to mess with. Therefore, after siege the cities and plundering the land, the generals under the prince got beautiful women, and no one sent them to the prince, and no one was willing to cause trouble.

Baihu is not stupid, and he would not do such a thing, but this was sent by His Highness Lingnan King. He was the two brothers, so it was difficult to refuse on behalf of the prince. He thought about it for a while and thought that this matter would be left to the prince to solve. Baihu smiled and said, "My prince has rested. I will thank your prince for my prince, so let's leave her behind."

After Baihu sent Li Ke's captain away, he brought the woman to Li You's dormitory. He raised his ear and pressed it against the door and listened. When he heard the sound of a chair moving inside, he knew that the prince was reading a book now, so he knocked on the door gently.

"Come in." Li You's voice came from inside.

Baihu pushed open the door and walked in with the woman. Li You asked, "Is this?"

Baihu said, "Prince, His Highness the King of Lingnan has sent you. This woman is the second princess of King Zhenla. His Highness the King of Lingnan has taken her sister as a concubine. He hopes to kiss you."

Li You turned his gaze to the girl, and saw that the girl was fourteen or fifteen years old, of medium figure, and very beautiful. She was just a little nervous and scared, and her body trembled slightly.

After all, Li You has the consciousness of modern people. He must pay attention to the process of falling in love and will not accept a strange woman casually. Therefore, among all the nobles in the Tang Dynasty, his wife had the smallest number.

Li You's current princesses have a great relationship with him and have experienced various tests including life and death. He really has no interest in this girl.

Li You said, "The third brother is kind, but I don't want it! Let's do it, you can send her back to her parents."

When the woman was taken away from her parents, she didn't know what fate she would face? She really didn't expect that this would be the result. She suddenly developed a favorable impression of the handsome man in front of her. She bravely looked up and looked at Li You carefully. Li You waved her hand and said, "Go." Baihu took the woman out the door.

When the woman followed Baihu to the door, she suddenly stopped, turned around and knelt on the ground, and said in stuttering Chinese: "Great Your Highness, please leave me behind."

Why is this woman like this? It turns out that the Zhenla Kingdom no longer exists now. The king's family has become prisoners, and their destiny can only be at the mercy of others. This woman is very smart. She knows that after being sent home, she will be sent to another place. She still doesn't know what fate will be? Instead of that, it's better to follow the handsome and kind man in front of her to protect herself. If she can gain the favor of such a powerful man, she will also protect her family.

Li You asked curiously: "Don't you want to go home?"

The woman begged, "Great Your Highness, please leave me behind, as a slave or a servant. Let me serve you!"

After thinking for a moment, Li You understood the woman's intention. Looking at her pitiful appearance, Li You suddenly remembered Ashi Naqing back then, and a hint of pity rose in his heart. He was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, just stay."

The woman followed the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty people and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." Li You said kindly, "Get up! What's your name?"

The woman said, "My servant is called Bandi."

Li You said to Baihu: "Okay! Take her down, give her to Xixi, and let Xixi teach her how to do things."

The next morning, Li You met with Li Ke. After a while of leisure, the two brothers began to discuss the conquest of the Kingdom of Heaven.

The two discussed and decided to mobilize the troops of the Lingnan Prince's Mansion and the Northwest Prince's Mansion to form the Southern Expedition Army, with Li Ke as the commander and Cheng Yaojin as the deputy commander, and attacking the Tianzhu Kingdom from both sides of the east and west.

Li You said: "Third brother, I suggest starting an attack at the beginning of next year, making full use of the period before the rainy season, and then coming to an end. If you don't have to worry about the issue of military strength, I will continue to send you a large amount of troops from the Wanu Kingdom, Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla. For these people, as well as the troops of the Linyi Kingdom and Zhenla Kingdom, you should try to use them as much as possible, send them to vanguards, fight more bad battles, regardless of casualties, and try to consume them to lay the foundation for future immigration.

Except for weapons and other materials, all other expenses in this war are raised by you, and you can use war to support the war. Even if you do it, you don’t have to worry about the affairs in the court.”

Li Ke said happily: "Fifth brother, don't worry, leave the matter here to me. However, can the navy support me again?"

Li You said: "Third brother, I have long thought about this matter. I will send Wang Guoxiang to lead the Southern Fleet under your command."

Li Ke said, "That's great! I'm even more sure now."

Li You stayed in Jinlan Bay for ten days, and then led the fleet to continue sailing.

The expeditionary force led by Li You is composed of more than 190 ships, including ironclad ships, carrying more than 25,000 army soldiers, including the Flying Tiger Army and the Marine Corps, with a total force of more than 37,000.

What is Li You going to take such a huge army?

It turned out that after so many years of war, all the places that could be expanded around the Tang Dynasty had been taken into account. In order to digest and absorb such a huge territory, except for the South Asian continent, Li You decided not to continue to expand. Moreover, he felt that the territory of the Tang Dynasty had now exceeded 15 million square kilometers, which was large enough. As long as it could be digested and absorbed, it would be worthy of its descendants.
